"Riiiigght, yeah I was totally gonna go there..." He stands there
awkwardly in silence for a bit. "Well uh...I should be going" James
heads in the wrong direction, Sector catches on and immediately
steers him in the right direction, giving him a light tap on his
head. Sector: //Nice try//
With Sector guiding James through the hallways of the school they
finally reach the class.
James is now standing outside the door. "Do I really have to do
this?" Sector "Yes, you're not getting away with it" James "Ugh,
fine."
James reluctantly opens the door and enters the classroom. Although
he notices the glares and the whispers he's attracted towards
himself like he's an outcast, he ignores them. "Uh, hello. I've
been here a few weeks but this is my first lesson on...The dragon
spirit? What should I do?" Shutting the door behind him, he looks
around and locates the teacher.
"You must be James then . Blackstar mentioned you had joined the
school. Youre late though . You better not come late to this class
again you hear me. Now take a seat " She was obviously a bit
annoyed at him for coming in late
blackstar playwed with turmoil a bit longer before saying "oh i
have an idea . lets go back into my office i have something you
might like turmoil"
"Right, got it Miss..." He uncomfortably makes it to the only seat
right in the middle of the class, awkwardly situated between some
other riders who have been giving him the looks. His
entrance and swerves to his seat were not elegant, disrupting the
entire class as he finally sits down, embarrassed by how clumsy he
was. After settling down, he and Sector patiently wait for the
lecture and listen.
"Its Flaming Trees . Anyway the dragon spirite as we all know is a
sort of energy givin off by the crystals found on this world and
many others. It is also the same energy that is given off by many
living things. As this is true it is especially important to the
dragons as the crystals give them life as in a way the dragons
"soul" comes from the energy given off and returns to the crystals
when they die. Both riders and dragons are able to detect the
dragon spirit with the right amount of focus and in a way this
gives us a sort of second sight. Riders tend to use the dragon
spirit as well in battle as if you know how to properly use the
energy it can be used for both attacking and defence. Though there
is a certain race of dragons who have no connection to the dragon
spirit whatsoever. Those dragons are known as the souless which are
completly void of the dragon spirit and are incapable of using it.
Though at the same time this seemingly makes them more like
ghosts.
*James raises his hand for a question* "Uhm...I've been half-ghost
before." The majority of the class give him a funny look. "What
exactly makes the souless like they are? Can you become one? Also,
what kind of attacking and defense could you do exactly using the
energy? When you say 'like ghosts' what kinds of stuff do you refer
to? And-" Sector interrupts: //You're asking too many questions
James, just let Flaming Trees answer for now// James: //Oh
right...I guess I'll stop then//
"Uh, right I think those are some of the questions I have"
"Welll . My sister was actually the first souless. Shes also their
queen . It is unknown how exactly she became one as all we know she
was on her death bead one day and vanished the next. Though so its
unknown exactly how the first souless was created but it is
theorized they are a sort of vampire varient. Though as in the name
they dont have a soul . Or the dragon spirit many dragons are so
close to . The souless can turn others into souless by having
direct eyecontact with someone . In which they would consume the
soul and from that point on the dragon has to follow their command.
which indirectly makes said dragons have to take orders from the
queen as well though this can be counteracted somewhat through
taking souls many souless just prefer to take life force from
plants and animals around them rather than do such a think which
also works but is a much slower process . Also by being like ghosts
i mean they have an inate abbilitity to phase through objects and
people as well as being abble to vanish from the physical realm for
large periods of time . Anyway onto your other question about using
the dragon spirit for attacking and defending. " She without
warning had thrown a ball of energy directly at him but right
before impact it disapated harmlessly "now any other questions? If
not we can get directly into trying to sense the dragon spirit as
it is an essencial skill for any rider to know early on . I would
advise that everyone turned into their dragon form for this as for
now this will make it much easier as dragons are much more atuned
to the dragon spirit " upon saying this flaming trees had shifted
directly to her dragon form (just for size refrence flaming trees
is likely just a tad bit bigger than felcor in dragon form.. lets
just say much larger then any of the kids in the room would be in
dragon form)
Blackstar took out a bubble machine and turned it on for turmoil
James was glad the energy ball didn't hit him although he wasn't as
scared, being used to getting hit by everything. He
stood up and walked over to a spot where he and Sector mostly had
the space to themselves and transformed into his dragon form. James
was happy to see that his dragon form was just a tiny bit bigger
than before, although he was intimidated by how he pails in
comparison to almost everyone else in the class, especially Flaming
Trees.
Sector, now standing next to James, looks to be the same caliber of
size upon closer inspection.
James asks "Okay, what do I do now? I just focus to detect the
dragon spirit?"
""Yes but like most things in being a rider you must be able to
have a clear and open mind before it can be acheived. Only once you
learn to do this and be able to see the dragon spirit shal you be
able to move on in this class. " flaming trees had said
James gives Flaming Trees a nod in understanding and does some
breathing exercises beforehand, trying to clear his mind just like
in his previous training many years ago. Inhaling. Exhaling. Sector
watches and although he already feels focused enough he follows
James' lead. After a few seconds they are breathing in perfect
sync. Inhaling. Exhaling. Sector and James are standing perfectly
still symmetrically, like twin dragon statues frozen in time.
Inhaling. Exhaling.
